What we do

Buck Institute for Education is launching an exciting new division, PBLNow. The PBLNow team will create K-12 Open Educational Resource (OER) PBL units that teachers can use to achieve impact and equity for all students, especially Black and Brown students.

These Gold Standard PBL Supplemental OER units will first focus on social studies and science/STEM and use racial, social, and environmental justice themes and lines of inquiry. Offering high-quality and ready-made PBL curriculum to educators at no charge will increase access to high quality PBL curriculum; increase the likelihood that teachers implement high quality projects; and, most importantly, increase learning outcomes for all students, especially Black and Brown students.

Our first set of units are in development now and will be available in early 2023.
